Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 57 Opponent Information, On the Arena [Seeking First Subscription]

After signing the contract, Jiang Chen was taken to a private room to wait quietly for the Giant Axe Arena to arrange his duel.

The life-or-death duels in the Giant Axe Arena are generally divided into five match levels.

The first tier is for players who have won ten consecutive games. Within this range, opponents are randomly matched.

The second tier is for those with a 10- to 99-win streak, within which opponents are randomly assigned.

The third tier is between 100 and 399 consecutive wins...

The fourth tier is between 400 and 899 consecutive wins...

The fifth tier consists of winning streaks between 900 and 999.

Those who win ten consecutive matches in the duel will receive the title of "Warrior" in the Giant Axe Arena.

Winning 100 matches will earn you the title of "Battle King" in the Giant Axe Arena.

If you can win a thousand matches, you can obtain the title of "Giant Axe Warrior" in the Giant Axe Arena.

If one is a slave, winning a thousand battles will grant them freedom, and they may even be recruited as a subordinate by the Giant Axe Arena.

If an ordinary citizen wins a thousand matches, they will be recruited by various forces and have a promising future.

"Orico, your opponent in this life-or-death duel has been arranged. Here is the information."

A staff member from the Giant Axe Arena sent information about Jiang Chen's opponent to his auxiliary computer.

Orico was the alias Jiang Chen used to disguise himself. For this reason, he even made a special trip to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. At the office building on Qiulong Star, he once again used the identity of Orico, a member of the Silver Scale Clan, to apply for Black Dragon Mountain citizenship.

After the data was sent to the quantum computer, Babata, who was inside the quantum computer, immediately checked it.

"Hiss! Jiang Chen, your opponent this time seems to be quite formidable."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen opened the auxiliary computer and looked at the opponent's information.

Yaxin, a second-tier planetary-level warrior from the White Wing Clan, a slave race, has achieved a nine-game winning streak and is just one win away from a ten-game winning streak...

Below is a video of Yashin's battle.

Jiang Chen clicked on it, and saw that the video was filled with cheers and shouts from countless viewers.

On the fighting field, a handsome young man, over two meters tall with white wings on his back, wielded a sharp longsword and fought fiercely with his opponent at an extremely fast speed.

In every battle, the boy named Yaxin appeared to be in complete control, demonstrating remarkable strength.

Ava, the staff member who delivered the opponent's information to Jiang Chen, looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of pity.

"You're so unlucky. You just participated in a life-or-death duel and then ran into Yashin."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Yashin has only won nine matches. That's because he hasn't been in the arena for long. In fact, his true strength is enough to achieve a hundred consecutive wins."

"I hope you can hold out under him for a while longer."

"I originally thought the first life-or-death match would be a boring game, but now it looks like it will be much more interesting."

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

"I hope you can still smile when you're in the arena."

Ava looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a dead man, not wanting to say anything more to him, and turned to leave the room.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen was communicating with Babata.

"Jiang Chen, how confident are you of winning this battle?"

Babata asked with concern.

"100%".

Jiang Chen said confidently.

"Really? I just watched the videos of Yashin's first nine matches. He's very strong, so you mustn't underestimate him."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

As Jiang Chen spoke with Babata, he thought to himself, "With my life genes being a hundred times stronger, ordinary cultivators of the same level cannot pose the slightest threat to me."

"However, fighting like this would be too boring and wouldn't serve to hone one's skills."

"It would be better to suppress my life genes to an ordinary level. Only then would such a life-and-death struggle have meaning and allow me to make progress."

After deciding how to face his opponent in the arena, Jiang Chen said to Babata, "Babata, search for the Giant Axe Arena for my match. What are the current betting odds between me and Yashin?"

"no problem."

Babata connected to the virtual universe and quickly found information about Jiang Chen's match. The odds below were as high as 1:4.2.

Every duel at the Giant Axe Arena attracts countless spectators.

Planetary-level life-or-death duels attract the most viewers because they have the lowest entry barrier.

Everyone watching this life-or-death duel will, to some extent, place bets on the person they favor.

Although Yashin has only fought nine battles, his impressive strength and handsome appearance have already attracted the attention of many people, who all have high hopes for him.

Jiang Chen, who transformed into a Silver Scale Clan member, appeared rugged and fierce, and had never participated in a life-or-death battle, so he was naturally not highly regarded.

Therefore, most people bet on Yashin, causing the odds to be extremely high.

"Babata, bet all 180 billion Black Dragon Coins you got from selling the Arc Blade Disc on my victory."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

"Bet all 18 billion Black Dragon Coins. If you win, with odds of 4.2, you'll earn over 70 billion Black Dragon Coins. That's money coming in too fast!"

Babata said excitedly.

"Making money is fast, but it comes at the cost of your life, and ordinary people simply cannot emulate it."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Meanwhile, in another room at the Giant Axe Arena, Yaxin was also looking at Jiang Chen's information.

Beside him sat a sweet-looking girl with light purple eyes.

"Brother Yaxin, my father said that if you win ten matches in the Giant Axe Arena, he will allow me to meet with you, and we won't have to sneak around like this anymore."

Sadie looked at Yashin with a pitiful expression.

"Saddy, I will definitely win this battle."

Yasin looked at Sadie, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.

Sadie was the daughter of a slave trader, and Yashin was one of Sadie's father's slaves.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Sadie was not as cruel and ruthless as her father. Instead, she was very simple and kind. She not only did not despise his status as a slave, but also helped him a lot.

The two later developed feelings for each other, but their relationship was thwarted by Sadie's father.

Sadie's father, Kesion, was adamant about not allowing the two to be together.

However, through Sadie's efforts, Kesion made some concessions.

That means Yashin needs to participate in the life-or-death duel at the Giant Axe Arena.

If you win ten games, you will be able to meet Sadie.

If he wins 100 games, he will be allowed to date Sadie.

If he achieves a thousand victories and earns the title of "Great Axe Warrior," Kercyon will grant him the status of a free citizen and personally marry Sadie to him.

Upon hearing Kesion's request, Yasin agreed without hesitation.

With his impressive skills, he has now won nine matches. He only needs one more to meet Sadie openly and legitimately, instead of having to do it secretly anymore.

Looking at the information on his next opponent, a man named Oliko, Yashin thought to himself, "You're just unlucky to have met me!"

……

The huge venue was filled with deafening noise, with nearly a million spectators sitting in the surrounding stands.

Most of these viewers are at the planetary level, a small number are at the eternal level, and there are very few at the cosmic level.

A life-or-death battle between planetary-level beings is nothing more than a minor skirmish.

For low-level cultivators, it is extremely attractive, as they can learn many combat skills and methods of life-or-death battles.

However, it's not very interesting for cultivators at the cosmic level or above.

If it were a life-or-death duel between a Domain Lord or even a World Lord, the impact would be far greater, regardless of the scale of the event or the strength of the audience.

In addition to the offline spectators, there are also online spectators in the virtual universe, whose numbers far exceed those of the offline spectators.

After all, watching the battle in reality requires a special trip to Qiulong Star, which is quite inconvenient.

In the virtual universe, however, there is no need for such trouble; one can buy tickets and watch the game anytime, anywhere.

Furthermore, watching the game in the virtual universe provides the same experience as watching it in real life.

In addition, there are dedicated paid live streaming channels for those who do not wish to attend in person.

However, compared to watching the game live, the atmosphere of a live broadcast is ultimately lacking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss the battle that's about to begin!"

A hot, sexy female host stood in the middle of the arena, her voice filled with alluring passion, making everyone's hearts flutter and their blood boil.

"Both sides in this battle are formidable! One of them is none other than the currently popular player, Yashin!"

"The other one, although it was his first time participating in a life-or-death duel, was not a slave, but a citizen."

"Generally speaking, those who are free like this and dare to participate in a life-or-death duel are not to be underestimated."

"Let's welcome these two with the loudest cheers!"

Throughout the venue, as the host spoke, the atmosphere gradually intensified, with enthusiastic cheers and shouts resounding like thunder for a long time.

In this atmosphere, Jiang Chen and Ya Xin stepped onto the fighting arena from both sides of the venue.

Yashin, dressed in a white martial arts outfit with his wings folded back and a broadsword at his waist, walked to the center of the arena.

Most of the spectators in the surrounding stands were cheering for Yashin.

Many women couldn't help but swoon and scream when they saw Yaxin's handsome face.

On the other side, Jiang Chen also walked over.

Stepping onto solid ground, hearing the cheers rising and falling all around him, and feeling the gazes of countless people focused on him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"You are not a slave, yet you dare to participate in the life-or-death duel at the Giant Axe Arena. I must say I admire you."

Yaxin looked at Jiang Chen opposite her and said slowly and deliberately.

"The path of a martial artist is about seeking a leap in life between life and death, and standing out from the millions of ordinary people."

"Although I am a citizen, I am also a slave to this world and the universe. Participating in life-and-death duels is also a struggle for my own goals and a competition for my own freedom."

Jiang Chen's expression was indifferent, his eyes carrying a transcendent Daoist quality.
